[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let's solve the equation:

82.78(p + 11.892) = 72.8464

First, we distribute 82.78 to the terms inside the parentheses:

82.78p + 82.78 * 11.892 = 72.8464

Next, we simplify the expression:

82.78p + 982.60056 = 72.8464

Subtract 982.60056 from both sides of the equation:

82.78p = 72.8464 - 982.60056

82.78p = -909.75416

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 82.78 to solve for p:

p = -909.75416 / 82.78

p ≈ -10.99
